There's different kinds of strength ... Having a good chin and being durable is a type of strength ... There's also mental strength .... physical strength can contribute to better punching power (power is mostly natural and technique I know) and help you in clinches ... A boxing match isn't a strongman or powerlifting contest but physical strength can help
I was talking about raw strength, How would you apply it to boxing? Clinching is as much technique as punching.
I'd have to favor Bowe but I'm curious what led you to the conclusion that he would beat the crap out of Ike.
I voted for a Bowe stoppage myself, and I would place a little on that (even though, I would likely also place a Decision Win cover bet).
I love both guys but at their peak I choose Curtis Cokes trained Ibeabuchi over Eddie Futch trained Bowe. I love both trainers too great men.
